Unfortunately we booked this hotel for our winter vacation and it was that nightmare booking. We had to move rooms twice for several reasons, the first room was extremely moldy and the second didn’t have hot water. There is no beach to swim in this hotel is very rocky. The staff was great but we left the hotel with a letter from the managaer stating that they will credit us for the last 4 nights and now they have ghosted us, no one replies, Expedia is not helping either, it has become frustrating. Do yourself a favor and do not book this hotel if you want to have a pleasant relaxed vacation.

The report is run down and needs lots of updates. They are understaffed in all the restaurants. The food is on the lower end of quality. The drinks all seemed to be watered down. I could drink all day and not feel it. They have significant plumbing problems. Iin our room the sewage came out the shower drain each time someone flushed a toilet or user a sink. Many other people complained about not having hot water in the shower. The hot and cold water faucets were reversed from one lavatory to the next. One lavatory would have hot water on the left and the next one would have hot water on the right. We had.a coffee pot in our room but were never left any cups to use. There were not any cups left in the room for bathroom use either This is a one star resort at best. Unless a person only wants to eat at buffet, restaurants reservations have to be made at midnight. The Italian restaurant is terrible. The Brazilian restaurant is pretty good, but all in all the dining options are below average I would not recommend this resort to any one. There are much nicer resorts in the same price range.

Enjoyed the property and experience for kids. Activities, room and staff was good. Booking for restaurants for dinner was poor as you had to stay up til midnight to ensure you could secure a spot but even then they were booked up in minutes. The dinner (bookable) restaurants themselves were great just wish they were more easily accessible for booking.

We picked the property for the variety of included activities for us to do with our kids, (11 and 9). We all absolutely loved living amongst the animals every day, and seeing them on our daily walks around the resort. We also loved the river tour, cenote, pool and ping pong tables, and we were at the water park every day. A ton of slides and no lines!! Our kids were in heaven. The buffets were what was expected for an all-inclusive. Many options and some made to order stations. The a La carte dinner options were all delicious! I would highly recommend for families. They have a kids club and the water park has smaller slides for younger children. We will be back!

We went to this resort hoping for lots to do and good food. There are lots of things to do but it is so crowded it made it difficult. The food is terrible you could tell it was re warmed from the previous meal and in most cases the food was cold. My husband and I went to the omelette bar to have ham and egg but instead there was chopped up hot dog from who knows when and the egg was under cooked. The ONLY good breakfast we had was at the Nido if you can get there early enough. El tiemplo was decent but all the other dinners were awful. Not to mention reservations were impossible to get unless you wake up at 12a to get one. The service is very slow and the wait staff was sometimes awesome but mostly terrible. The pool would be ok if it wasn’t brown it doesn’t seem like it’s cleaned often enough. If you’re looking to relax this is not the place to do that. We will definitely not be returning to the Sandos resorts again.

The property is pretty. A ton of vegetation. The wild life is everywhere, which is neat but also a nuisance. They come and steal food from you. The food is okay, just not a lot of variety. Entertainment is lacking as far as shows. We did go to the spa which was great. Other than the hot tub didn’t work, which we were not told before hand. The biggest issue was hot water in the rooms. We rarely had better than lukewarm. We tried at many different times of the day including 5:00 am and later evening. We were told it just takes time for it to get to the room but we let it run for an excessive amount of time and no luck. Our children 10,11 and 12 did enjoy the water park. The “Teen Lite Club” needs some attention, very disappointed with that. The staff was friendly and helpful.
